M-Audio Delta 410
Mackie Powered Monitors for playback
Software:

ecasound for playback
Notes:
The first of 2003’s installations, “Simpatico” was Valentine’s Day themed. I deconstructed the melody to “Turtle Dove” into 2 parts and wrote new melodies around them. Listeners near one of the speakers would hear the composed melody, but this would gradually turn into “Turtle Dove” as the listener moved to the center-point of the playback system.
